The Ostogoths (11/26) Defeated Ulysisgrunt's Byzantines (29/22) 42% to 100%.
The Byzantines have too little of too many troop types to stand up to a lot of cav, IMHO.
Good, fun game, Danny!

Two results to report:
* Edmund_Blackadder's Goths (17/23) 74% defeated allendeuce's Romans (23/20) 100% in a tight game with almost nothing between the sides throughout.
* Edmund_Blackadder's Romans (15/21) 71% defeated MikeMarchant's Goths (24/22) 100% in another tight game where the Roman CinC autocharged and was killed by a fragmented enemy which, as usual, led to his troops fighting better.
Thank you both as always for enjoyable and friendly games.

Ulysisgrunt's Foederate Romans (27% loss) defeated Mike Merchants Vandals(100% loss)

This was undoubtedly a result of the nature of the lists.

Nice idea Ulysisgrunt. Everyone feel free to continue your games according to the table without to wait for each turn to complete. This will make us move faster i think.

Hi Kilroy & NikiforosFokas,

To catch up a bit I've issued my next 2 challenges as Romans for you both. Password C5th for both

[ulysisgrunt]

My Foederate Romans (73%) defeated Edmund's Sassanids (100%)
I aattacked his elephants with superior auxilia!

[MikeMarchant]

MikeMarchant's Sassanians 5/16 beat Allendeuce's Byzantines 20/20

The Sassanian elephants made all the difference in this one, making a big hole in Byzantine (almost entirely cavalry) centre. That left my other cavalry to occupy/defeat the remaining Byzantine cavalry, while the nellies stomped about in their rear looking for currant buns.

Bad luck, Jim.

And it worked, with the elephants routing rather quickly, with nearly half my points going in one turn!

[batesmotel]

batesmotel (Ostrogoths) 12/25 beat NikiforosFokas (Foederate Romans) 22/22

My Gothic lancers turned the Roman left flank faster than the Roman HI/MI could turn mine. Thanks for the game.

[batesmotel]

batesmotel (Foedrate Romans) 18/31 beat IMC(Ostrogoths) 28/28

My cataphracts and cavalry held off the Gothic lancers while my Legions, Auxilia and Foederate HI beat the Gothic HI. Thanks for the game.

[IMC]

IMC Vandals beat kilroys Foderate Romans: 20/28 v 25/25.

An even game with little to choose between the forces. Thanks kilroy. I'm sure you will get some revenge very soon.
